A stablecoin is a digital asset designed to act like a traditional fiat currency. Stablecoins are built with stability in mind, as their value should stay relatively stable compared to other cryptocurrencies. Many people also use stablecoins as a way to avoid the fluctuations that often come with the more popular cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins also provide users with additional security as a result of their stability. Stablecoins are also useful for institutions that want to trade in a more traditional manner without the unpredictability of the price of cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins are often pegged 1:1 to a traditional fiat currency to provide users with guaranteed value. The most popular stablecoins are USDT, USDC, BUSD.
Benefits
Binance USD (BUSD) has several advantages over other stablecoins. First, it is based on the same technology as Binance Coin (BNB), Binance's own cryptocurrency. This means that existing Binance users can seamlessly convert their BNB into BUSD without any additional steps. Second, BNB was specifically designed to be used as a base currency on the Binance and Binance DEX, so traders can rest assured that their BNB will always be accepted. Third, Binance USD is fully backed by the US Dollar (USD) with a total guarantee of 1:1. This level of backing provides users with the reassurance to know their money is safe. Fourth, Binance can maintain close control of the coin supply as a result of its 1:1 peg to USD. This eliminates the need to worry about sudden changes to the price of the coin due to speculation or market volatility. Fifth, Binance is one of the biggest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, with over 40 million transactions per day, as of May 2021.
One of the main concerns about most cryptocurrencies is their susceptibility to extreme price fluctuations. Stablecoins are specifically designed to avoid these fluctuations by being pegged to a traditional fiat currency. As a result, Stablecoin holders are largely protected from the impacts of market volatility. Users can rest assured that their investments in stablecoins will stay relatively stable, at least in comparison to other cryptocurrencies.
Roadmap
Binance developed a seven phase plan to bring the Binance USD stablecoin to market. The first phase of development focused on sourcing and testing the peg. During this phase, Binance worked with banks, investment firms, and currency exchange platforms to secure the required funding and ensure the peg was being maintained. Phase two focused on designing and creating Binance USD. During this phase, the company conducted extensive research into traditional fiat currencies, cryptoassets, and stablecoins to ensure that their model could accurately keep the value of one USD pegged to the value of one BUSD. Phases three through seven focused on expanding the use of Binance USD and preparing for the eventual launch of the coin. In addition to the above, please refer to the Binance USD whitepaper for an up-to-date roadmap.
